When Edie Falco was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, she was ready. “I had really been taking care of myself for about 15 years before I got sick — not drinking, not smoking, eating well — so I fared very well,” the Sopranos star tells Sunday’s issue of Parade magazine. The actress, 45, has been sober for 17 years — she has said that she struggled with alcohol for years — and insists that kicking the habit is what helped her battle the disease. See photos of Edie and other stars who beat breast cancer! “They gave me very strong chemo drugs,” she says. “I was so lucky that two of the biggest things in my life — my sobriety and my breast cancer — happened in the order they happened.” In addition to staying physically healthy, she adds that her mental health was a likely factor in her recovery.

The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Jon & Kate mom Kate Gosselin grew so close to her bodyguard, Steve Neild, it caught the attention of her husband, Jon — and has become the talk of many locals in their Berks County, Pennsylvania, community. Since May 2008, Kate has made 50 public appearances, criss-crossing the country, often with Neild by her side, as Jon stayed home with the kids. Even when at home — whether at Starbucks or at restaurants — Neild has been a constant companion to Gosselin, who is estranged from her family and viewed in town as not having friends.

You may bleach and dye and straighten the girl until she doesn’t really look black anymore, but you can never take away her desire for over-the-top, showy clothes and bling-bling. If it doesn’t have sequins and a mermaid hem, then it has a train that requires its own handler (see Toby adjusting it below?) I think I saw this dress on a Bob Mackie for Barbie dress back in the 80’s. Do you girls remember those? Those were so ridiculously awesome

Beyonce is Demure

Hey peeps, it’s Sonya today and I’m taking you to Funkytown. It’s a quaint little village on the continent of Zac Efron , island of Greasy Face. I do want to warn you, you might find the villagers to be a coarse lot, with lots of belching up of yellow fluid and scratching of crotches, hence the overall inflamed appearance. Today’s forecast includes a douchey cover of beanie, and by the looks of the neighboring orbiting body, a chance of white facial showers. Enjoy your stay, but watch your back

Ignore that screeching version of “If I Were a Boy” making the rounds on the web. Beyonce says she can sing. On Tuesday, Howard Stern played what he claimed was an unedited sound board recording of the singer, 27, performing the song on the Today show last year. She sounds excruciatingly off-key as she wails through the number. At a junket Wednesday for her new thriller Obsessed , Beyonce said that she hasn’t heard the recording, but the story “sounds completely ridiculous.” “Everyone’s heard me sing and it’s perfect timing, actually, because I’ll be on the Today show tomorrow singing ‘Halo,’ or tonight you can watch me sing live on David Letterman !” she told MTV News . “It’s perfect promotion, whoever came up with that idea.” See Beyonce’s style hits and misses Earlier in the day, her dad (and manager) Mathew Knowles claimed the tape was “obviously altered.” “If no one took the time to look at the biggest Inauguration in the history of America then shame on them,” he wrote.
